Ok I brought my first Western Digital 320GB Scorpio Blue SATAII 5400RPM drive to upgrade an 80 GB Playstation 3. One extra small phillips head screw driver, five tiny little PS3 screws and 14 minutes later my old 80 GB PS3 had a new lease on life. My PS3 now has an upgraded 320 GB of storage and man it is like so totally out of this world. It was easy to do. The PS3 system if anything is faster than it was before. I am a clutz with tools since I have cerebral palsy and brain damage. Upgrading the PS3 hard drive was so easy even I could not screw it up.The new Western Digital 320GB Scorpio Blue SATAII 5400RPM drive is quiet enough for my purposes as it is certainly no louder than the little 80 GB drive it replaces. The price was great. I went to local stores in the Baltimore Metro area and there was not a 320 GB drive to be found in the so called big box electronics stores. However as is usually the case Amazon.com has items in stock and ready to ship that so many local stores run out of. Once I realized how easy it was to upgrade a PS3 hard drive with one of these 320 GB SATA 2.5's for totally monster storage I upgraded my two remaining PS3's to Western Digital 320GB Scorpio Blue SATAII 5400RPM drives in a heartbeat.Heck so many people started asking me to upgrade their PS3's to the Western Digital 320GB Scorpio Blue SATAII 5400RPM drive that I had to buy a fourth Western Digital 320GB Scorpio Blue SATAII 5400RPM drive so I could back up people's PS3 data to a mini storage device that has you guessed it a Western Digital 320GB Scorpio Blue SATAII 5400RPM drive inside. I have yet to upgrade a PS3 system to a 500 GB drive but soon as I do I will let you know. Upgrading a PS3 system to a bigger Western Digital 320GB Scorpio Blue SATAII 5400RPM is so easy an autistic werewolf like me can do it so for you folks it should be a snap.

This drive replaced one of the two very full Seagate Momentus 80GB 2.5" SATA drives in my HP Pavilion dv8000 series laptop. Very simple plug and play procedure. All I had to do was partition and format the drive and I was up and running. This drive is occasionally a LITTLE noisier than the factory installed Seagate but not loud enough to bother me or the person next to me. As a 30-year computer tech, I highly recommend this drive. This is a SATA II drive but works perfectly in my SATA I laptop. I'll be purchasing another one to replace the other drive in this computer. Then I'll have a 1TB laptop. Cool!

First of all, there used to be two product listings for this hard drive, both identical except for the ASIN numbers. One was listed as the stand alone, the other was listed in the Western Digital Scorpio Blue page with the pull-down menu that has all the different sized drives in the series. I have no idea what the difference is. Amazon, for some reason, took down the 500 GB listing from the pull-down menu and it now has it's own page. Odd they chose that direction. It would have made more sense to remove the individual listing.Ok, this is for PS3 owners/upgraders. This drive fits the PS3 wonderfully and runs nice and cool with no issues. For the price you can't go wrong. I have the 40 GB PS3 (Spider Man 3 bundle) and have the data (saves + install) of about 10 games and I was running out of space. I did a lot of research of the various SATA 2.5" laptop hard drives available. I researched all the various brands and compared reviews and prices vs size. I came to the conclusion that a 500 GB drive for $100 is a steal given the extra space gained, so that's the direction I went. Of all the brands, the Western Digital Scorpio Blue series seemed to have the most positive reviews all over with the least amount of reviews stating drive failure, so that's the one I chose.Installing was extremely easy after backing up my data. The longest part of the whole procedure was backing up and restoring the data. I won't go into details, but I do recommend the app another reviewer used to format an external drive larger than 32GB in the FAT32 file system. It's called "fat32format". It works extremely well and extremely fast (less than 4 seconds for a 120GB external drive). Just follow the directions and you're good. I did this because in order for the PS3 to recognize the external drive it has to be formatted in the FAT32 file system. As for the procedure of upgrading the PS3, just google "upgrade PS3 hard drive" and you'll get tons of tutorials and videos.Now here's something important: A lot of people who upgraded their PS3's and saw xxx/465 GB free after upgrading are not realizing that this is not the fault of the PS3. You could put the same drive in a laptop and it will have the same 465GB. This is because manufacturers advertise a gigabyte as something different than what windows or the PS3 recognize. Manufacturers see a gigabyte (GB) as 1000 megabytes, and 1 megabyte (MB) as 1000 kilobytes (KB), when in actuality windows sees 1 MB as 1024 KB. So that's where the unaccounted lost space goes.So as of now, my opinion is that this hard drive is a great choice for PS3 upgrades. If you don't want to drop a bill on the 500GB version they also have the Scorpio Blues in smaller sizes for reduced prices. I like this hard drive so much I may replace my laptop hard drive with one.

I was an initial skeptic but I decided it was worth the upgrade because purchasing more space from Apple would've been triple the price. I took the plunge and have had this in for about 2 weeks with no problems. Installation was easy, but my computer (mid 2009 MacBook Pro), didn't not initially recognize the new drive, so after scouring the Apple website and forums, I found a solution and all has been well since then. Be sure to use to use Time Machine to migrate all your info. I will wait a while until I update this review but if you're a skeptic, take a chance!

This is a great hard drive. I replaced a Toshiba hard drive in a netbook with this. It is much faster and offers more space. So far it has had no problems as of yet. I only purchase WD hard drive and have not been let down yet

PLUSES: It's large, quiet, fast. It easily and perfectly fits where a 20-40-60-80 GB, 2.5" SATA drive would, including in a PS3.MINUSES: You may be able to find larger drives but not everyone may need more.Of course, it's no longer 'the biggest' but I knew that a couple of months ago, when I upgraded my PS3. I also figured that, since I have no plans of storing a movie library, 320 GB would carry me for the next couple of years. After that, it's likely that I'd be buying the next generation game/multimedia machine.Advice to the PS3 upgraders from someone who, after some hesitation, actually did it:- Go for the highest capacity. If it's a 2.5" SATA and you can afford it you should probably go with it. I already replaced my original PS3 drive with a 320GB but my formerly 60GB laptop has a 500GB 2.5" WD SATA now.- If you need to format this drive or any drive to Fat32, the best utility I found was FAT32FORMAT.EXE - Google and you shall find it out there. I'm not reviewing the formatter utility but I can tell you that it does a drive in less than 10 seconds AND it works on Vista.- It helps to have a 60-80 USB-connected drive handy to backup your PS3 content before upgrading. With one of these as the backup device, the PS3 fully restore EVERYTHING, including whatever copywrited or protected objects, such as, in my case the PS2 memory cards emulations._______________________________________Note (March 12, 2009)The Western Digital Scorpio Blue 500 GB Bulk/OEM Hard Drive 2.5 Inch, 8 MB Cache, 5400 RPM SATA II WD5000BEVT seems to be the way to go these days. I like WD and the 500GB is selling now for less than I paid for the 320GB. I actually helped a couple of friends upgrade with this drive and it was quick and easy.Note 2: (April 8, 2009)The review above was for the 320GB, which I used to upgrade my PS3. I just ordered the 500GB because life became almost unbearable with a 60GB on my laptop. I am planning to swap the drives without actually reinstalling the OS and the apps with help from Acronis True Image Home 2009 PC Backup & Recovery.Note 3: (April 12, 2009) - Laptop UpgradeMy 2 year old Thinkpad T60 came with a wimpy 60GB SATA drive. I needed the ability to upgrade to the much larger 500GB and do it without having to reinstall the OS, apply the service packs and then reinstall and configure 100 different little apps.Acronis True Image Home 2009 PC Backup & Recovery allowed me to do all of the above in about one hour. Its Utilities section has a 'clone' option that would copy EVERYTHING, including the Master Boot Record/Sector (MBR) from the puny 60GB drive unto the 500GB while allowing me to control the size of the active partition - this while the 500GB was connected through a USB wire and the laptop booted off the program's CD.Once the operation completed (50 minutes) I simply removed the old 60GB drive off my laptop and replaced it with the 500GB drive. Once the laptop was turned back on it booted up happily, with a 200GB master partition and a 300GB second partition. There are 3 words that I have to use to describe the process: PERFECTION and COMPLETE SATISFACTION. This capability alone is worth the price of this product.To my surprise, with the new drive, the Primary Hard Disk score as computed by Microsoft (right click on 'My computer' then select 'Properties') jumped from a decent 4.8 to an unexpected 5.7.

I used this to replace the dinky 20GB drive that came with my Xbox 360. After a little bit of tweaking...it works great, its quick, and is huge compared to the old drive I used to have.Western Digital has always been a good drive for me, this one is no different. It arrived in working condition (cough maxtor cough...at least maxtor used to be terrible) and seems to be well built and working great, no issues at all. The amazon packaging option also helps reduce waste while still being packaged securely and arrived in great condition.5 stars 'cause its doing exactly what it should be doing at a great price.

I bought this to replace my original 40gb hard drive that came with my PS3. I was originally only looking for a 250gb hard drive, but noticing the jump in price from 250gb to 500gb was only about 5 bucks, I decided, why not?It installed in less than five minutes. Formatted it, restored my original data, and up and running in no time. It has been running like a champ since installing it.I would highly recommend this HD if you're looking for a cheap upgrade for your PS3.

Upgraded my original backwards compatible 60GB playstation 3 to this western digital 500gb hard drive due to running out of space, very easy to install a new hard drive to your playstation 3. If any of the screws on the hard drive case don't want to come out using a small phillips head, use a pair of needle nose pliers and it'll get them out.

I got this to juice up the storage space for the ole PS3, and it sure does. It runs quiet and was easy to put in. I just got a PS3 slim and now I want to get another one for it as well. If that's what your considering getting this for, then you should.

I'm not a hard drive expert, but this one went into my MacBook Pro without a hitch. It is at least as fast and quiet as the one that came in it and I now have enough space for the rest of the life of this computer.

The hard-drive itself worked well and was fast enough for me Lenovo and not too loud. However i excepted a longer life than only 1 and a half years. Since the laptop is 17" i did not really move the laptop around too much, so there was not much chance to damage the drive. However, it still died fairly quickly.

Based on recommendations from friends as well as the overall positive reviews on various websites, I decided to order this HD to upgrade my PS3. It works great! Installation was a breeze! It took me less than 10 minutes to remove the stock HD and install this new HD. Just make sure you have the right size phillips screwdriver before you attempt to remove any of the screws or else you can easily strip them!Regarding the HD itself, it was formatted by the PS3 and restored my backup without any problems. With my backup restored, I still had over 400 GBs of free space! Amazon did a great job packaging the HD. It came inside a sealed anti-static bag supported inside a small box by styrofoam packaging material. The small box was then placed into a larger box surrounded by air-filled plastic packaging bags.Great price. Great packaging. Perfect if you're considering upgrading your PS3 HD!
